We are over the moon to be hosting a special event with Amy Stewart because we love her Kopp Sisters historical series, and even more so because she actually owns a bookstore, with her husband—Eureka Books in California.

We're celebrating the paperback release of the third book in the series, Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessions, and pre-celebrating the September 11 release of #4, Miss Kopp Just Wont Quit. And speaking of things that won't quit, we're celebrating the success of the first two books in the series, Girl Waits with Gun and Lady Cop Makes Trouble. So mostly, we're just celebrating!

In Miss Kopp Just Wont Quit, Amy Stewart continues to brilliantly conjure the life and times of the real Constance Kopp. After a year on the job, New Jersey's first female deputy sheriff has collared criminals, demanded justice for wronged women, and gained notoriety nationwide for her exploits. But on one stormy night, a prisoner escapes and everything falls apart. Since Fall 1916 is a high-stakes election year, any move she makes could jeopardize Sheriff Heath's future -- and her own. And although Constance is not on the ballot, her controversial career makes her the target of political attacks.

This is a ticketed event—$20.00 includes admission to the author talk, your choice of paperback and the corresponding cocktail paired to your book choice. Amy, who feels "every book deserves a good drink", did weeks of historical research and made multiple trips to the liquor store to create a cocktail for every book in the series! $30.00 includes admission to the author talk, a pre-order for the forthcoming Miss Kopp Just Won't Quit, and a cocktail. Location is the Post House Garden (directly across the street from Arcadia Books). If its raining, just head inside and upstairs to the second floor of The Shed.

Amy Stewart is the award-winning author of seven books, including her acclaimed fiction debut Girl Waits with Gun and the bestsellers The Drunken Botanist and Wicked Plants. She and her husband own a bookstore called Eureka Books in Eureka, California. She lives in Portland, Oregon.
